| The Director of Mental Health directly or through subordinate managers and supervisors may require exempt salaried employees to work more than the regular number of hours in an assigned workday or workweek when departmental necessity requires such work.
No employee may work overtime hours without prior authorization from his/her manager unless emergent circumstances require the overtime and prior approval could not be obtained.
The Aggregate Method to accrue overtime hours for exempt salaried employees is defined as follows: -
Overtime shall be accumulated at the straight time rate only if the employee works three (3) or more hours of continuous overtime on any work shift. -
No overtime credit is received for less than three (3) hours of overtime. -
Overtime will not be accumulated in increments under three (3) hours. Hours worked in less than 3-hour increments are coded as 083 on the timecard.
A maximum of 240 hours may be accrued and carried over into the following year.
Overtime must be used on an 8-hour basis. Exempt employees who are on 9/80 or 4/40 schedules will only be required to account for eight (8) hours. The difference will be coded with Exempt Leave (Earning Code 019).
In addition to compensatory overtime normally worked, the Chief Executive Office may allow exempt salaried employees to accrue a full day of disaster CTO (Compensatory Time Off - entered as code 711) for each day of overtime worked because of a major emergency such as a civil disturbance, earthquake, flood, etc., provided that the event is so designated by the Board of Supervisors and the employee is instructed to work on the disaster recovery project.
There are no maximum full day accrual limitations on accruing disaster CTO. Department management is responsible for ensuring that such CTO is associated with a major emergency. Unlike normal Non-Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) CTO (earning code 705), unused disaster CTO may be paid for, but only if payment is authorized by the CEO. Unused disaster CTO is carried in leave balance as earning code 808.
